I feel like 10+ people have asked (including me already), but can someone link the CC radar? Can't find it on the GSP site, and don't have it bookmarked anymore.

Yes please.  Can somebody help a brother out??

CC radar snow line is finally collapsing with the heavier rates, Radar back West looks amazing temp rapidly dropping... Northern Upstate looking good.

Can you post a link to CC radar?

I know I am just expressing frustration. Anyway if you want a little more it is obviously a very suppressed run with the strong high nosing south and confluence in the upper levels. There just isn't the amplification to unleash a power house low nor the strong shortwave energy. Your looking at some weak disturbances feeding off strong out vorticity to the south of the confluence that would result in a weak "southern slider". That is what this run shows. Is it a hair better, I suppose, but nowhere close to anything substantial on 12z op run.

Thanks for the analysis! So in future runs what should we be looking for to help amplify those disturbances without loosing that beautiful dome of high pressure?  Is it that the angle of approach of the northern stream diving in is too far east creating a dry WNW flow instead of more of WSW flow like in earlier model runs?  I know we’re basically looking at squeeze play setting up along the thermal gradient between the NS and the Southeast ridge. Is it a matter of having that gradient setting up more WSW?

Wet bulb temp is right around 32 here in Matthews if moisture holds together and doesn’t warm anymore. 

My buddy says it is snowing south of Rock Hill so that’s a good sign l think for us in southern Meck Co / Union Co

Really, he has nailed this winter. Though I do hope that it changes. It does not look good.

Sorry, not picking on you but I want to use this as an opportunity to voice something that’s been bothering me about this for a few days. 

Are we really going to give him credit for a good call?  I mean, yes, he’s correct that there hasn’t been measurable snow in Raleigh so far this season.  But really there hasn’t been snow below 3500 ft in our region prior to yesterday’s surprise. So the fact that it hasn’t snowed in Raleigh is not shocking. Having lived in Charlotte for more than 50 years I can promise you that a couple of snowless seasons here and there is NOT unusual. 

Would you give Brick or Tarhole Mack credit for saying “It’s never going to snow here” in December and it eventually happens that way? I don’t think anyone here would unless the poster provided scientific reasoning behind their proclamation. Why should it be any different for someone with a red tag below their display name?  If he had provided any reasoning behind his posts I would be willing to give credit. But he hasn’t (not even once) that I have seen and I read this board daily so I doubt I missed it. And now his posts come across as having an agenda, which is surprising to me because I know he wants snow as much as any of us.
